Mr. & Mrs. Rick Richard Living Estate Sale

Donna and Rick Richard have spent years amassing a fine and distinguished collection of antiques and accoutrements that filled their magnificent large estate that was located on Shellbeach Drive in Lake Charles, Louisiana. The estate was framed by moss dripping oaks and it has been plaqued by The Calcasieu Historical Society in the 1980’s and was named the Krause-Burton home. Upon the sale of the estate, the Richard’s collection was moved to a massive climate controlled warehouse in Lake Charles called Bayou Services at 2925 Industrial Avenue, Lake Charles, La 70615, where this once in a lifetime opportunity of a sale will take place on September 20th, 21st, and 22nd (Thursday, Friday and Saturday).
